This parameter can be set to \fByes\fR or \fBno\fR, and used by
\f(CW/etc/init.d/vz\fR script. In case it is not
set to \fByes\fR, nothing will be done to boot up OpenVZ on this node.
.IP "\fBLOCKDIR\fR=\fIdirectory\fR"
Set the directory to put lock files to.
.IP \fBVE0CPUUNITS\fR=\fInumber\fR
Value of this parameter sets \fBcpuunits\fR for VE0.
.IP "\fBLOGGING\fR=\fByes\fR|\fBno\fR"
Enables or disables logging. This parameter can be set to \fByes\fR or
\fBno\fR, default is \fByes\fR.
.IP \fBLOGFILE\fR=\fIfile\fR
Set location of log file, default is \f(CR/var/log/vzctl.log\fR.
.IP "\fBLOG_LEVEL\fR=\fInumber\fR"

quota operations are disabled.

This parameter is used by \f(CR/etc/init.d/vz start\fR script. In case the value
of this parameter is set to \fByes\fR, VE with incorrectly shutdown quota state
started without quota check and after all VEs started marked VEs restarted.
.SS Network interface parameters
.IP \fBVE_ROUTE_SRC_DEV\fR="\fIdevice\fR"
This parameter specifies the network device name which ip address will used for
source ip. If on HN configured > 1 network interfaces and needed to specify
the source ip address, set corresponding \fIdevice\fR. By default takes the
first in network device list.
.IP \fBTEMPLATE\fR=\fIdirectory\fR
Value of this parameter is a directory in which all VE template data are
stored.
.SS Defaults for VE

\fBvps.conf\fR(5) VE configuration file.
.IP \fBVE_ROOT\fR=\fIdirectory\fR
Value of this parameter is the \fIdirectory\fR which serves as VE root
mount point. Value must contain string \fI$VEID\fR, it gets substituted
with actual numeric VE ID.
.IP \fBVE_PRIVATE\fR=\fIdirectory\fR
Value of this parameter is the \fIdirectory\fR in which all the
files and directories specific to that VE are stored. Value must contain

.IP \fBCONFIGFILE\fR=\fIname\fR
Specified default configuration file on create action, corresponds to --config
option
.PP
Any other parameter that appears in per-PE configuration file \fBvps.conf\fR(5)
